Dear visitors,
This project is not funded.
The REC Music Foundation has generously
given me server-space, but I have many costs in
maintaining and expanding the website. So if you find
the information here useful,
please consider making a donation. Your gift is greatly appreciated!

I also have a wishlist at Amazon.ca.

Where to start?
The Introduction is a good place, or the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ).
You can also browse the collection by using the indexes by composer, text poet or author,
first line, title, or language; or you can search for words or phrases. If you can't
find what you're looking for, please feel free to make a request for the wishlist.
The following links to selected song texts will give you an idea
of the type of information this website has to offer.
Note: leave out punctuation and diacritics (e.g., instead of ä use a, and use ss for ß)
